DCE CIOP was designed to meet the following goals:
• Support multi-vendor, mission-critical, enterprise-wide, ORB-based applications.
• Leverage services provided by DCE wherever appropriate.
• Allow efficient and straightforward implementation using public DCE APIs.
• Preserve ORB implementation freedom.
DCE CIOP achieves these goals by using DCE-RPC to provide message transport, while leaving the ORB responsible for message
formatting, data marshaling, and operation dispatch.
